\"asparagus\"<\/a>

Eat ’em up!<\/p><\/div>\n

Normally on this here Web log we shill for only one vegetable: the delicious and nutritious broccoli, the cruciferous king! However, today we take a departure from the brocco and instead tout something that truly signifies springtime: the Sparrow’s Grass, a k a the asparagus. Soon the strawberries and bing cherries will be on their way, plus the artichokes, but for now, the asparagus leads them all, and with it follows the thawing season.<\/p>\n

Fresh local asparagus now, only 99¢ per pound at all neighborhood Ralphs Markets — a k a Kroger West. Grassy, light, fresh and steamed to perfection, a perfect spear of delivery for butter or Hollandaise. Do it now: asparagus, 99¢, your local Ralphs here on the Left Coast. Nummy! <\/p>\n
